The chaparral is characterized by sparse, rough terrain and nutrient-poor soil meaning that no single resource is overly abundant. Therefore, a varied diet allows an animal to make use of a wider selection of the resources that are available to it and thereby thrive.

Answer:

The chaparral biome consists of various types of terrain like mountains and plains, it is somewhat similar to desert biome as both of them are hot and dry, but it experiences more rainfall as compared to desert biome.

It consists of rough terrain and nutrient-poor soil, which show that not a single resources are abundant. It means there is a variety of diet present in this biome. So, the variation in the diet of the animal makes them able to survive and make use of various resources that are available nearby in order to survive.
